An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.
There are only a handful of key regional players that have any sort of sales record and loyal customers. One of the most well-known is Tolino, which comprises of an alliance of telecom and tech companies that wanted to develop e-readers and open a digital bookstore to prevent Amazon from dominating the German market. Netherlands based Icarus has a fond place in geeks hearts because they were one of the first ones to develop open Android based e-readers, that allow you to install apps just like you would on a smartphone and tablet. Pocketbook tends to dominate Eastern Europe and Russia and Onyx Boox is primarily focused on the Chinese market. Hanvon, a former member of the world’s top 5 manufacturers has turned to focus their old expertized fields which are face recognition and E-drawing board, further cutting down the revenue share by E-reader.
The global market of E-reader is certainly going to shrink further in the next few years because there has no reason that people more necessarily need an E-reader rather than a tablet. Although E-readers are easy to produce, when a new brand is introduced, it can hardly win popularity from people who are used to the few common names. Despite that, only big vendors such as Amazon and Kobo are able to buy components from upstream suppliers in mass volume with cheaper cost. The future E-reader manufacturers will face pressure from both product novelty and pricing.
